Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a curable liquid composition, a composition-accommodating container, a liquid composition discharging device, a cured material, and a method of manufacturing the cured material.
  • Photopolymerizable compositions and inkjet ink containing acrylic acid ester compounds as the major component are widely known and most of the acrylic acid ester compounds involve skin sensitization problems such as skin swelling and itchy skin when such compounds touches skin (WO2002/061001).
  • acrylic acid ester compounds have a higher molecular weight and causes less skin sensitization. Therefore, consumers who touch such polymerized acrylic acid ester compounds are little affected but those who handle the compositions and ink before irradiation (i.e., polymerization) have safety problems.
  • methacrylic acid ester compounds are known to be a substitute of acrylic acid ester compounds.
  • methacrylic acid ester compounds produce peculiar smell immediately after polymerization, which is ascribable to a photopolymerization initiator used for polymerization. That is, this substitute clears the skin sensitization problem but creates a non-worker-friendly environment by the odor for workers who handle the compositions and ink before irradiation. Therefore, as a measures to make consideration for the workers handling ink before light irradiation, photopolymerizable compositions and inkjet ink free of skin sensitization with sufficiently reduced odor, which is produced immediately after photopolymerization, are demanded to be available on the market.
  • photopolymerizable compositions and inkjet ink are preferably free of water and an organic solvent.
  • the present disclosure is to provide a curable liquid composition free of the skin sensitization problem with sufficiently reduced peculiar order produced immediately after curing.

  • the liquid composition is liquid at room temperatures.
  • the curable liquid composition may be referred to as "curable composition" or "composition”.
  • Skin sensitization of a composition is determined by skin sensitization of the raw material formulating the composition.
  • GHS Globally Harmonized System
  • a substance or a mixture containing a skin sensitizing substance in an amount of 0.1 percent or more is defined as a skin sensitizing material. Therefore, formulating a composition with substances having negative skin sensitization results in negative in skin sensitization of the composition.
  • Monomers having an SI value of less than 3.0 are negative in skin sensitization. SI values are measured by the method described in Examples described later.
  • the phenomenon of skin sensitization starts when a chemical substance passes through the barrier of skin. Therefore, a chemical substance having a smaller molecular weight tends to have a stronger skin sensitization.
  • monomers having an SI value of less than 3.0 are used as the component of a composition.
  • monomers having an SI value of less than 3.0 and causing no skin sensitization problem are photopolymerizable monomers such as a (meth)acrylic acid ester compounds, which are inexpensively and easily available.
  • the monomer preferably includes a hydroxyl group-containing monomer.
  • Glycerol dimethacrylate and glycerol monomethacrylate include hydroxyl groups, which enhances cohesion to inorganic substrates, in particular, glass.
  • the following material compounds causing some skin trouble if used alone and (meth)acrylate, (meth)acrylamide, and vinyl compounds whose skin sensitization is not evaluated can be used in combination. These monomers are used in such an amount that skin sensitization of a composition containing these is negative.
  • a photopolymerization initiator having a weight average molecular weight of 500 or more is used as a composition component. It is preferable to use a photoradical polymerization initiator as the photopolymerization initiator. It is preferable to use an article negative in skin sensitization as the photoradical polymerization initiator. When skin sensitization of the photopolymerization initiator is not negative, the photopolymerization initiator is used in a concentration range in which skin sensitization of the curable composition is negative. However, if the molecular weight of the photopolymerization initiator is too large, spinnability peculiar to a polymer solution as liquid is demonstrated, although skin sensitization is good. In particular, when used for inkjet, discharged liquid does not travel right way or is elongated, which leads to image disturbance. Taking this into account, the weight average molecular weight of the photopolymerization initiator is preferably 10,000 or less.
  • (Meth)acrylic acid ester, (meth)acryl amide and derivatives thereof, and vinylether compounds are known to have an ionic polymerizability as well.
  • ionic polymerization initiators are generally expensive and produce a slight amount of strong acid or alkali without irradiation with light. Therefore, it is suitable to take special cares of, for example, imparting acid resistance and alkali resistance to composition supply paths in a liquid discharging system. Therefore, latitude of selection of members constituting a liquid discharging system is restricted.
  • a photoradical polymerization initiator which is inexpensive and generates no strong acid or strong alkali can be used for the composition of the present disclosure.
  • the amount of the photopolymerization initiator in a composition is preferably small in terms of cost. To cure with a smaller amount of light, it is possible to further add the photopolymerization initiator, which is a radical producing source. However, as the amount of the photopolymerization initiator is increased, viscosity of the composition is increased or the cost is increased, so that it can be appropriately determined in a range where the composition does not have high viscosity.
  • the molecular weight thereof is preferably large.
  • the photopolymerization initiator having a large molecular weight is added to a composition, the photopolymerization initiator increases viscosity of the composition. Therefore, the weight average molecular weight of a photopolymerization initiator is more preferably 2000 or less.
  • the photopolymerization initiator is preferably a liquid polymer. Such a liquid monomer can be evenly dispersed in the composition.
  • a photopolymerization initiator having a chemical structure including a phenylglyoxylate skeleton, a photopolymerization initiator having a chemical structure including a benzophenone skeleton, or a photopolymerization initiator having a chemical structure including a nitrogen atom is preferably used.
  • a photopolymerization initiator having a chemical structure including a phenylglyoxylate skeleton and a photopolymerization initiator having a chemical structure including a benzophenone skeleton initiate polymerization initiate polymerization with short wavelength light.
  • a photopolymerization initiator having a chemical structure containing a nitrogen atom initiates polymerization with long wavelength light and causes some coloration, so it is suitable for a composition containing a coloring material.
  • the photopolymerization initiator may be, for example, a polymer represented by the following structural formula and having a weight average molecular weight of 500 or more.
  • a photopolymerization initiator having a molecular weight of 500 or more preferably accounts for 10 to 31 parts by mass of 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer components.
  • a coloring material it is preferable to contain a photopolymerization initiator containing a nitrogen atom having a molecular weight of 500 or more in an amount of from 3 to 30 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer components.

  • the photopolymerization initiator having a molecular weight of 500 or more is desirably 30 parts by mass or less based on 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer component.
  • a photopolymerization initiator having a molecular weight of less than 500 can be used in combination as long as the combination does not adversely affect the odor problem.

Also, after the light irradiation for one hour, the odor of the coated film was evaluated by sensory evaluation and the coated film having a strong odor was determined as "pungent odor" and the coated film having a weak odor as "light odor". The coated film was subjected to a curability test 1 with a small amount of light irradiation and a curability test 2 with a large amount of irradiation as the curability test. The coated film cured in the curability test 2 with irradiation in a large amount of light although it did not cure the curability test 1 with irradiation in a small amount of light.
  • curability depends on the amount of radical generated at the time of light irradiation. Therefore, to cause the coated film to cure with a smaller amount of light, it is suitable to increase the amount of a photopolymerization initiator serving as a radical generating source. However, as the addition amount of the photopolymerization initiator is increased, viscosity of the ink is increased or the cost is increased. Note that the coated film obtained in the curability test 2 shown in Table 3 was subjected to the evaluation of the odor of the coated film.
  • the ink was accommodated in an aluminum pouch bag having a form illustrated in FIG. 13 and the pouch bag was sealed in order to prevent air bubbles from entering into the pouch bag and the ink.
  • the sealed pouch bag was accommodated in the plastic cartridge as illustrated in FIG. 14.
  • an ink flow channel was provided from the cartridge to a head (MH5420, a discharging head having no flow channel circulating in the individual liquid chambers, manufactured by Ricoh Co., Ltd.).
  • MH5420 a discharging head having no flow channel circulating in the individual liquid chambers, manufactured by Ricoh Co., Ltd.
  • the ink droplet discharging amount was controlled in order that the thickness of the coated film was about 20 microns.
  • the property of the ink desirably satisfies the requirements of the inkjet discharging head to be used.
  • Various discharging heads are available from many manufacturers, and some have a large discharging power to discharge an ink having a high viscosity or a wide range of thermostat setting.
  • the thermostat of the discharging head can be used. When the viscosity is too high at 25 degrees C, the head may be heated to reduce the viscosity of the ink.
  • the ink When heated to 60 degrees C, the ink preferably has a viscosity of from 2 to 20 mPa-s and more preferably from 5 to 18 mPa-s at 60 degrees C. However, from viewpoints of energy saving and operation preparation time, discharging the ink at a lower temperature is more preferable. In Comparative Examples and Examples, the ink viscosity was 8 to 15 mPa-s at a discharging temperature of from 30 to 60 degrees C.
  • Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 it was found that good curability and light (weak) odor were achieved at the same time due to the usage of an initiator having a molecular weight of 500 or more. Even with an initiator having a molecular weight of less than 500 as in Comparative Example 2, it is possible to reduce the odor to a low level. However, it is difficult to make both curability and compatibility good at the same time, and as seen in Comparative Example 3, an increase of the initiator to enhance curability was found to cause a solubility problem. As seen in Example 2, good curability and light odor were achieved at the same time due to the usage of an initiator having a molecular weight of 500 or more.
  • curability was found to be further enhanced.
  • good curability and light odor were found to be achieved at the same time due to the usage of multiple kinds of initiators having a molecular weight of 500 or more.
  • good curability and light odor was found to be achieved at the same time even when an initiator having a molecular weight of 500 or more was used and multiple kinds of monomers having an SI value of less than 3.0 were used.
  • good curability and light odor were found to be achieved at the same time when an initiator having a molecular weight of less than 500 was used in combination with an initiator having a molecular weight of 500 or more.
  • Example 1 good attachability to the glass substrate was found to be achieved at the same time in addition to curability and light odor.
  • the cured coated film in Example 1 was colored pale yellow. Therefore, this is thought to be suitable for applications in which pale yellow is required or the color tone does not have a significant meaning.
  • Examples 2, 4 to 7, and 9 since the coated film was not significantly colored. These are thought to be suitable for applications in which the color tone of the substrate and the basic color has a significant meaning. Since the initiator has absorption between 365 and 395 nm, absorption also occurs in this region as the ink. It is possible to use a generally-used visible light ultraviolet spectrophotometer to measure the spectrum.
  • Discharging Reliability was evaluated for a combination of the ink of Example 2 and the liquid discharging device including a discharging head not having a flow channel circulating in the individual liquid chamber and a combination of the ink of Example 2 and the flow-through type liquid discharging device in which the flow channel circulates in the individual liquid chamber.
